Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment
racks. It is actually part of the patch panel. Instructions for making connections
in the wiring closet with this type of equipment follows.
1.
Attach one end of a patch cable to an available port on the switch, and the
other end to the patch panel.
2.
If not already in place, attach one end of a cable segment to the back of the
patch panel where the punch-down block is located, and the other end to a
modular wall outlet.
3.
Label the cables to simplify future troubleshooting. See "Cable Labeling and
Connection Records" on page 59 .
